My god! I have been stuck here for hours! I know there's a shortcut after the third gauntlet, but I can't even beat the second! I only beat it once and then died in the first wave of the next one! High halls was a piece of cake compared to this, at least you didn't have overlapping waves and so much area denial. And those flying things are fucking annoying, they are always barely out of reach! Why is everyone always ranting about high halls and not this?

Please, tell me it's the last time I have to deal with these ridiculous gauntlets. Or at least that there will be checkpoints. This is like a forced boss rush but worse because at least bosses are fun.

I finally fucking did it! What made the difference was: using pale nails, a lot, mostly for flying shrimps; ascendant's grip for when they remove the floor and you have to shoot at flying enemies; reaper's crest; dumping tacks where the alitas spawns in the third gauntlet. I didn't kill Khann on the very first attempt right after the gauntlet, but I did it on the second.

Sidenote, I decided to get pale nails for this fight so I went up the cradle, but once there I told myself "now that we are here let's just finish the Mr Mushroom thing" only to discover the Path of Regular Discomfort. Where I got stuck once again, until I swallowed my pride and went back to buy the ascendant's grip. Which turned out to be a life saver for Khann.

Side sidenote: reaper's crest is amazing against the pinstress. It's like, made specifically for that fight.

Side side sidenote: I imagine you are not that interested in my quest. But I just wanted to write this somewhere.

    Oh, You didn't had the Pale Nails? I think I forgot to mention that by the time I went to defeat Khann, I had already found or bought almost all the tools and upgrades. I'm terrible at gaming, and usually, what I can't achieve through skill, I make up for by finding upgrades to make things easier for myself.

    You didn’t have Ascendant’s Grip? I’m surprised you didn’t lose your mind during the Mr. Mushroom mission. I almost did, and I already had Ascendant’s Grip at that point.

    Reaper's Crest is one of my favorite crests. it's so versatile, and I think I also defeated the Pintress with it.

    Anyway, I'm glad you managed to defeat Khann. Is that the last heart you needed, or do you have more left?

    I usually do the same as you, but sometimes I try to follow the "regular" progression a bit more, so I didn't rush to get the pale nails before.

    I had to get it because I was loosing my mind. And imagine the rage when after reaching the top I discovered that in one of my grip-less attempts I failed at literally the last jump. I try to delay buying tools because they are expensive, and I don't really like most of them.

    I only have the green Prince's heart, but I want all four. Though I have literally just beaten Seth.
